Valdosta State Chamber Singers Perform by Candlelight Sunday, Dec.4

VALDOSTA -- The Valdosta State Chamber Singers, an elite choral
ensemble of 36 singers, will perform holiday programs by
candlelight at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 4, in the grand
acoustical stage of West Hall’s rotunda. The joyous occasion will
feature renaissance motets, new compositions and familiar favorites
such as “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “Fum, Fum, Fum,” and “Silent
Night.”

“For many people in the community, this concert has become a
tradition,” said Paul Neal, director of choral studies. “Every
year, people tell us that their holiday doesn’t begin until that
final performance of Silent Night sung around the audience. It
truly is magical.”

The Chamber Singers will also present the world premiere of
Balulalow, written by Dr. Jim Shrader, chair of the Department of
Music. Proceeds from the hour-long performance will support the
Chamber Singers’ spring tour to perform at the American Choral
Directors Association Regional Convention in Winston-Salem,
NC.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. For more
